YouChange Completes Merger with Earth911 and Changes Name to Infinity Resources Holdings Corp.

Infinity Resources Holdings Corp. becomes a leader in recycling and proper disposal of commercial and consumer waste streams.

TEMPE, AZ- YouChange Holdings Corp (YCNG), a leader in electronics collection, e-waste tracking and re-commerce, today announced the completion of a merger with Earth911, Inc. and a name change to Infinity Resources Holdings Corp. (“Infinity”). Earth911 will continue to operate as a wholly owned subsidiary of Infinity.

Earth911, through its Earth911.com website, will have over 7.5 million visitors and over 20 million page views in 2012. Earth911 clients include some of the leading consumer product companies and retailers that are making a difference in sustainability and true product stewardship, including Mobil1, Sprint, Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, Lowe’s, Castrol, and Owens Corning. In addition to its industry leading recycling solutions, Earth911 owns a 50% interest in Quest Resources Management Group, LLC based in Frisco, TX. Quest is a leader in the design and implementation of innovative recycling solutions to help companies be environmentally responsible. Quest has grown rapidly in this emerging market and was recently named one of Inc. Magazine’s fastest growing private companies, ranking No. 928 on the sixth annual Inc. 5000 list with 2011 revenue of $121.9 million. http://www.prweb.com/releases/2012/8/prweb9823443.htm

Infinity President and CEO Barry Monheit commented, “We are very excited to close the merger with YouChange and begin executing our strategic plan to introduce YouChange into other markets. There is considerable synergy in the consumer marketplace with Earth911 and YouChange that is well underway.”

YouChange founder, Jeff Rassas, who will remain as a Strategic Business Consultant to Infinity added, “Now that the merger is completed, we can focus on becoming a major factor in landfill diversion, an emerging market, through our partnership with Earth911 and Quest. My unique experience of having been a former CEO of both Earth911 and YouChange has given me a perspective of how these two companies can work together to accomplish their goals. Earth911.com is a valuable national, even global, resource, showing me and millions of other users how and where to recycle in my neighborhood, kind of like a Wikipedia for recycling that keeps me “in the know” with what’s new, interesting facts, how-to ideas, and helpful tips across multiple platforms.”

Earth911 President Corey Lambrecht commented, “Consumers are always looking for ways to use their “always on” connection in their daily lives. Earth911 allows consumers to access proper disposal information, including recycling, by searching for hyper-local information that is relevant to them. Earth911’s mobile solutions captures consumer search intent much like Yelp and LinkedIn, but with a focus on sustainability of the planet. According to the Tellus Institute, landfill diversion through recycling and composting is predicted to grow 3 times its 2008 levels by 2030, and the combination of Earth911, Quest, and YouChange is uniquely positioned to become the dominant market leader and take advantage of emerging opportunities arising from disruptions in landfill diversion. Our team of seasoned public company executives looks forward to leveraging our public currency to add world class talent and companies to our sustainability portfolio.”


Monheit added that “with new financing in place, we are well positioned to be the industry leader as we look to maximize shareholder value.”
